Hi, Mom!

APPY MOTHER'SDAY!

This Special Edition of the 112th Carnival of the Cats is brought to you in honor of Gracie, my mother's cat and devoted companion. My mom has been catless for years, sadly -- and now Gracie has come to boss her around and keep her purr company. Pretty comfortable looking cat, isn't she?

Mom is trying to decide if she can bear to leave Gracie, and come to see me. What would you do?

That's it for this week -- I hope you and your cats and your mothers all had a wonderful day! And on this day that we honor mothers, and motherhood, let's not forget to
honor those who make other, considered, decisions.

Please let me know if I've missed anyone -- it does happen now and then, as Sissy can attest. Also, trackbacks are being stubborn, so please be patient.

Re: MISSED POSTS ~ Elisson asks Wha' hoppen? I sent in two links...
and the answer is, I don't know, but I have some ideas. FWIW, my own
entry -- sent before I remembered I didn't need to send it this week --
also never arrived, and Sissy has had problems for two weeks. One
possibility is that it gets lost in SPAM: there were well over 500 spam emails in there when I first checked it, before Laurence went in to clear it out.

Want your cat to be on the CarnivalOfTheCats banner? Click over there to find out how. You may also want to check out, and even join, the Cat Lovers Community. And if you've a spare moment, you might hop to the next post and let me know what you think of the new Watermark banner -- is it a keeper, or no?
